La sensibilité renouvelée pour la nature et l'héritage de quelques grands paysagistes du XXe siècle favorisent aujourd'hui une approche écologique qui place tout l'écosystème au cœur même du projet "jardin" et qui se conjugue avec une recherche d'ordre artistique où s'instaure un rapport parfois ludique entre les éléments du paysage et des matériaux qui lui sont étrangers. Ce volume présente une sélection internationale de jardins récemment conçus.

Summary:
Transférée du monde rural a au vocabulaire urbain et postindustriel, la friche désigne en fait toute portion de territoire dont le devenir - provisoirement ou durablement - échappe aux hommes qui l'avaient jusque-là contrôlé. Alors même que les friches en tout genre se multiplient et forment une donnée constante du paysage contemporain, ce numéro 4 des Cahiers de l'Ecole de Blois (janvier 2006) s'interroge sur leur statut et sur ce qu'on pourrait appeler leur légitimité - ce principe d'incertitude ou ce suspens qu'elles font planer sur les enjeux du paysage. Textes de : Pierre Audat, Jean-Christophe Bailly, Chilpéric de Boiscuillé, Marc Claramunt, Gilles Clément, Christophe Degruelle, Aurélie Dewitte, Jean Echenoz, Claude Eveno, Delphine Lermite, Christophe Père, Kyohei Sakaguchi, Anne-Sophie Verriest, Hans Zischler.

Summary:
Abstraction and hedge, interaction and landmark, labyrinth and synthesis, pond and utopia — the reader is confronted with a variety of terms, from the description of the various elements of a garden all the way to theoretical, historical, symbolic, and iconographic aspects of landscape design. Meto J. Vroom, a former professor of landscape architecture at Universität Wageningen, defines and analyzes more than 250 terms, concepts, and objects. While the definitions convey the universally recognized meaning of the headwords, each essay briefly outlines a subject with a critical commentary and numerous commendations for further reading.

Summary:
Bamboo and its many varieties are becoming ever more popular as a design material for landscapes, squares, and gardens. With its widely varying hardiness, height, and leaf structure, the grass can be cultivated under many different conditions, and because of its special physical characteristics it can also be used as a material in related domains such as architecture, furniture design, and flower arrangement. The extensive technical section of the book describes the properties and habitat requirements of the plant, the breeding of varieties, and the methods of propagation. It then goes on to explore its use and significance in urban and natural settings. Authors with technical expertise in the relevant fields, including the director of the Oprins bamboo tree nursery, and striking color illustrations convey exhaustive technical and botanical information and examples of the creative use of bamboo, especially in urban and natural settings.
